Thanks! That worked.

Wooohooo! Awesome job man. Tested with Asia81's theme
However the app locked up my 3DS completely. I had to hard reset. After I reset the theme loaded up just like an original theme would.

so just to make sure, we do have to reboot for the custom theme to show up right? if I just press start to exit, the theme wont change.

Correct, it's best to do a hard reset for everything to apply.

No, you can press the power button and then hit home.

I have a small idea for this homebrew:

As simple as it is, and it works which is great however. Previews for touch screen is somewhat required.
The menu is on the bottom screen, but this isn't an issue if the touchscreen preview is triggered by a keypress. Like holding L, R etc. Or even holding the touchscreen..

I think also credit or notes should be viewable too. So theme creators (such as myself) can let others know who has made the themes. If they have used a image that someone else has created they can credit them and so on.
A keypress/hold of "Y" would be pretty cool to have info displayed. I'm not sure on the complications of print being on top of images and so on, I'm not a programmer - although I wish I could contribute.

So far great work on this as it's simplified the process of loading themes, and I've had a good night making some. I wish you all success on making this homebrew even better, and the suggestions I've mention I think would be a great addition

Preview can be scrolled with Circle Pad (so it's possible to insert Credits here and is possible to put also a Bottom Screen preview).

3DS XL (EUR)

Backgroundmusic ia not working for me, only the Theme itself.

bgm.bcstm for each Theme is in between 466.712 - 3.328.416 Bytes

(Working with ExtDataTool)

Could you add status reports that the files got installed and speed up
browsing preview picture?

To speed up preview pictures you can save them as BMP and rename with windows from .bmp to .png (BMP loading is much faster then PNG ones).

Good idea for status reports, i'll add this on next release.

Tanks for the great work!!

I recently downloaded this today. I had already made three custom themes and was working on a fourth one when i saw the custom homemenu manager. It really simplifies things, however two of my themes weren't orginally loading, i couldn't figure out why but i rechecked the files with the 3ds theme editor (Though I use Rai's Yata for setting themes up first since for some reason when I use the 3ds theme editor i get that annoying white box in the upper left corner. Her's doesn't have that.) And found that the background music box had been unchecked. I checked it and saved the body_lz.bin file and after replacing and reloading the themes again, the music worked fine. (I had made BGM files for the themes earlier)

Anyway, thanks for this awesome tool, it saves a nice amount of time as far as changing themes on the fly goes in it's current state :3

Awesome tool! Anyone having trouble with it should try changing the 3DS theme setting to "Do not use a theme" and resetting the system.

 

[Venseer]

Am I doing something wrong? I set the files in folder Themes/ThemeA
Using BGM.bcstm and body_LZ.bin
I press A and nothing happens, and nothing happens. I've seen people having troubles with BGM, is that what happens?

In the actual revision, there is no message after changing theme.

I made a near identical request and was shot down by OP. He just doesn't get it, and doesn't seem interested in our feedback.

Maybe if a dozen more people request this feature he'll implement it. But I wouldn't get your hopes up.

 

[Psi-hate]

This is able to change themes, right? Do we have to change it each time by using the app?

I guess, if you want it done right, do it yourself. It's the developer's homebrew, and it is their work so :/

hey I have a problem there testing with GW, I made the folder like shown there and booted the .3ds version
I can see the themes and the previews as well but I press A and then start to back, but the theme still not there o-o
